Lord Morris of Manchester: asked Her Majesty's Government:
	What progress Government departments have made in analysing the compatibility of requirements within the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in relation to United Kingdom law.

Lord Evans of Temple Guiting: In terms ofSection 29(2)(b) of the Scotland Act 1998 a provision is outside the legislative competence of the Parliament if it relates to reserved matters. An Act of the Scottish Parliament (ASP) will not be law so far as any provision of it is outside the legislative competence of the Parliament.
